Spotlight: Project Mexico Offers Hope to Orphans and the Homeless
For twenty-five years, the Orthodox ministry Project Mexico has been harnassing the energy of young people by sponsoring home building projects for Mexico's poor. Hundreds of needy families have moved into homes constructed for them with the help of nearly 10,000 volunteers. Sponsored by parishes from around the country including many from the Antiochian Archdiocese, and by Orthodox organizations such as the Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF), group building weeks for 2013 are already filling up. (Sign up for a summer home building week.)
There are two types of homebuilding groups hosted by Project Mexico each summer: small groups, and Orthodox Basic Training (OBT) groups. During the weeks dedicated to small group participation, teams from one, two, or three parishes construct a single home for a needy family, spend the afternoons interacting with the boys of St. Innocent's, and learn about the local culture through a visit to Rosarito. During Basic Training weeks, Project Mexico hosts larger groups who construct between four to seven homes in one week. Each evening, volunteers listen to inspiration speakers, and on Sunday builders enjoy a day of fellowship and fun at St. Innocent's.Project Mexico's partner ministry is St. Innocent Orphanage in Tijuana. The orphanage also provides a home for the needy, in this case for teenage boys who live on the streets or who have been sent away from other orphanages. Boys at St. Innocent receive a quality education, counseling, and life skills tutoring.
Through the generosity of an anonymous benefactor, Project Mexico recently received a $50,000 matching grant; every donation offered in the month of December will be matched, up to $50,000. Friends of the ministry may donate online.

Historic look for veterans' center in White City
By PAUL FATTIG
Of the Mail Tribune
WHITE CITY — New buildings are popping up at the old veterans domiciliary along Highway 62, but chances are most passers-by won't notice.
That's because the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is working closely with the State Historic Preservation Office to make sure any buildings being replaced at what is now the Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinics reflect the historic architecture, explained Stacy Webster-Wharton, chief engineer.
"We worked very hard on the facade to make it not very obvious to anyone but us," she said of one residential care building completed last year.
"Even the brick they make for us is meant to look old so it looks old, complimenting the old brick buildings already here," she added. "It is a little darker now because it hasn't weathered as much yet."
Likewise, three building projects under way or about to start will capture the historic look of the center, built 71 years ago.
"Architecturally, what we are doing is very similar and complementary to the historic buildings," she said.
The old buildings were erected in 1942 when the U.S. Army established Camp White to train soldiers to fight in World War II. After the war, the facility became a domiciliary, then eventually the SORCC.
All the new structures will be built to withstand most earthquakes and will be more energy efficient, she said.
"A big component of these projects is to make these buildings meet the current seismic codes," she said.
Two local construction firms have been hired to do the work at a cost of $8 million to $9 million, she estimated.
Building 205A, under construction near the highway, will replace a residential care facility. Like the original, the 24,000-square-foot building will hold 84 beds when completed late this fall, she said.
Work to replace the nutrition and food services building, otherwise known simply as the kitchen, began last fall.
"We have to keep the old one up and running while building the new one next to that," she said. The 21,000-square-foot project should be completed by early fall.
That work has to be done seamlessly to ensure that the roughly 400 people who eat there daily don't miss a meal, she noted.
"As soon as the new building is up, we will move some of the old equipment over," she said, adding that the new kitchen also will receive some new equipment.
Construction workers have removed an unoccupied quarters building and will build a 16,500-square-foot primary care structure this year.
"It will still have brick and will historically complement the old building, but it will have a little different look," she said, noting it will include an atrium.
The primary care building — 201A — will offer services to female veterans on the second floor, while male veterans will be served on the first floor. That construction work should be completed by summer, she said.
During construction, about 440 beds are available for inpatient veterans in the residential buildings. When this phase of the construction is completed, the center will house some 450 veterans.
The facility also serves more than 17,000 outpatients throughout the region.
Coming projects include replacing the chapel as well as another residential care building, she said.
The SORCC, which has a staff of about 550, along with some 500 volunteers, has an annual budget of about $90 million.

The Google Pixel is an excellent flagship phone that's only let down by mediocre battery life and some last-gen specs. The price has recently dropped, making the Pixel is a breath of fresh Google air in a world of Android over-complication.
Nexus is dead. Pixel is king. Say hello to the Google Pixel, a handset ushering in a new era of the search giant's smartphone range.
It arrives alongside the larger (and even more expensive) Google Pixel XL , as the firm doubles up on devices for another year.
The Pixel takes over from 2015's Nexus 5X as the smaller offering in Google's lineup. The thing is though, it hasn't inherited its predecessor's price point, with the new Pixel sporting a decidedly more premium tag.
Watch our video review of the Google Pixel
Update : Google has delisted the Google Pixel from its online store, thus officially dropping the curtain on the first-gen phone. It's still possible to find at several retailers, but it could become difficult (and more expensive) to find if you're after a cheaper Google phone.Update
The price gap between Google's first-gen device and the new Google Pixel 2, so far, hasn't been that wide. Thus, purchasing the former over the latter simply couldn't be recommended.
But as time goes by, the decision will become easier. Why? Well, the prices are getting better for the Pixel – as low as $399 for the 128GB version. This is almost half-off its original price.
While price varies for the original Pixel, you won't see as much fluidity just yet for the Google Pixel 2. It released in October 2017, so expect to wait another handful of months before big deals show up.
That said, here's a look at the very best values for Google's latest phone.32GB - launched at $649 (£599, AU$1,079), now $549 128GB - launched $749 (£699, AU$1,229), now $649
The Pixel comes in two variants, 32GB and 128GB, with the smaller storage option costing you a lofty $649 (£599, AU$1,079) at launch. Meanwhile the Google Pixel price for the 128GB model is a staggering $749 (£699, AU$1,229) at launch, pitching it against the likes of the iPhone 7 , Huawei P9 , HTC 10 and Samsung Galaxy S7 .
Have you been asked to take a test for lipids by your GP? If so, you might be wondering what lipids are, and how they can affect your health. Luckily, they're not as complicated as you might think – here's a breakdown.
Lipids are fat-like substances found within the blood stream. There are several different types of lipids, but the most commonly known is cholesterol.
So, what are lipids for? This depends on the kind of lipid you're talking about. Lipids have a wide variety of different uses in the body, including cell wall structure and fat storage. Needless to say, the body needs a certain amount of them in order to function.
That said, we also need to check our lipids sometimes. The types of lipid that we need to be especially aware of are:
A healthcare professional may test for lipids if they want to monitor the cholesterol and triglycerides levels in the blood, usually as part of an overall review of your heart health.
If your levels are elevated, they will give you advice to help you bring them back down to the recommended range. Here, Flora ProActiv products can help by lowering LDL-cholesterol – check out our cholesterol lowering starter kit for information and advice.
The test for lipids is usually called a blood lipid panel test or a lipid profile, and often involves fasting the night before. All it takes is a small sample of blood.
The blood test will determine:
It may also (but not always) look at:DLD60b.
Any other requestor for a regular MVR, fill out form DLD60b ( r e quires the driver's signature to be notarized and dated within 90 days of the date the form is submitted. )
A requestor who qualifies under permissible use 1, 4, 6 or 8, please use form DLD60a.DLD60a.
If you need a certified driving record please complete forms DLD60m and DLD266m , send payment of $10.75 and specify records requested. (Certified MVR may take 2 or more weeks to process.)DLD266m
In an effort to protect the privacy of the subject of the record, we are requiring a notarized signature to release the records through the mail.

When you're buying fish in a strange place, it helps if both you and the person you're buying it from know all about marine taxonomy, including the Latin for everything. Since this is almost never the case, you can run into the kind of situation I was in last week in Dominica, where I was told what was pretty clearly some kind of jack was a salmon. When I said, "That's not what they call a salmon in the rest of the world," another fishmonger intervened and said it was in fact a blue runner. When I later looked online at pictures of blue runners, I found that indeed they are a kind of jack, but not the jack that I'd bought and had filleted.
As they say: Whatever. It's a fish. With an unreliable grill and novel fuel—a kind of wood that burned slowly but not especially hot—I thought the fish needed some protection, some kind of en papillote situation, or it was going to stick to the grill grates like it had been superglued. I thought about this while slow-grilling some beautiful garlic, green onions, and "seasoning chiles," which look like habaneros but are mild enough to eat, almost like padróns. I had no foil, so that was out. I had no parchment paper, which is what we think of as the "real" en papillote wrapper, though I wasn't certain that would work anyway. Continue reading

Being an intensively growing and modern-thinking company that collaborates with such huge clients as Microsoft and Huffington Post as well as with such respectable organizations as Drupal Association and American Chamber of Commerce, QArea has produced and polished up the best methodologies for business process optimization and software development. We use the most effective of today's project management and software development methodologies.
The methodology of software development is a structure according to which software development is built. There are several models of this process (methodologies for software development), each of which describes its approach as tasks and / or activities that take place during the process. QArea uses following basic models of the process or methodologies of software development:
Waterfall Model
The cascade or waterfall development model is a model of software development in which the development process looks like a stream of consistently passing phases, requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, integration and support. The waterfall software development model includes the following strictly defined stages:
- Conception
- Initiation
- Analysis
- Design
- Construction
- Testing
- Production/Implementation
- Maintenance
The name "waterfall" often is referred to an article published by W. W. Royce in 1970.
Iterative model
Iterative model of software development works in parallel with the continuous analysis of the results and adjustment of the previous phases of work. The project in this approach in each phase of development is an iterative cycle: Planning - Implementation - Testing - Evaluation (plan-do-check-act cycle). Iterative methods for developing software that are being used at QArea:
Rational Unified Process (RUP)
RUP is a methodology for software development, created by Rational Software. RUP is based on the following core principles:
- Early identification and continuous (up to the end of the project) eliminating of the project risks.
- Focusing on the implementation of customer requirements (analysis and building of cases model).
- Waiting for changes in requirements, design decisions and implementation in the development process.
- Component architecture that is implemented and tested within the early stages of the project.
- Continuous quality assurance at all stages of the project.
- Work on the project in a cohesive team, the key role in which belongs to the architects.
Agile Software Development
Most agile methodologies are aimed at minimizing the risk by making the development process being a number of short cycles called iterations. Each of the iterations typically lasts one or two weeks. The iteration itself looks like a miniature software project, and includes all tasks required for the issuance of the mini-increase of functionality: planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, testing and documentation.
At the end of each iteration the team performs a re-evaluation of priorities for development. The core principles of this methodology are presented in so-called Agile Manifesto. Here they are:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
The most famous and the most effective Agile approaches are Scrum and Kanban methodologies, which are widely used by our company.

Post subject: Flour volume to Weight conversion
If a recipe calls for 1 Cup of All purpose flour and I wnat to measure that in weight instead of volume (to be more consistent), what would the correct conversion be for generic recipes?
Thank you

Volume to weight through carbohydrates.
How many pounds in the bag? How many carbs per serving? How many servings in the bag? how many carbs in the bag? How many carbs per pound? How many cups per pound? How many partial pounds per cup.
I do this to conver powdered sugar to splenda.

A number of years ago, my mother showed me a French (not "French" cooking, but in the French language) cookbook and recipes using flour and sugar were measured in grams, not volumetrically. She wanted to know how to convert the weight measurements back into cups of flour and sugar, etc. I told her to just weight it on her kitchen scale. I guess the French know that different types of flour (white, whole wheat, corn and other grains, etc) have different densities and that people may pack it into the measuring cup differently, and that measurement by weight is really the better way to measure for consistent results. Baking is chemistry lab where you get to eat the final product!
Anyway, for volumetric measurement, flour should be sifted and then scooped into the measuring cup. If you pack it in when doing volumetric mesurements, your cakes will be hard, not light and fluffy. Once you measure the weight of the specific flour you are using, you will have it for future reference. Since sugar cannot be packed like flour can, volumetric measurements can be consistently used, but weight is really the way to go.

I must have missed the original post - otherwise I would have answered earlier.
When a recipe calls for 1 cup all-purpose flour, it is asking for 125 g of flour. The proper way to measure flour is to sift it first (pre-sifted flour from the bag does not count, you must sift again), fill a dry measuring cup and level with a straight edge. However, even if you did this, I bet you will not end up with 125 g - just something in the ball park. Volumetric measurement is really imprecise, but for general cooking, it suffices. For baking - use the mass.
Also, for sugar (granulated), 1 cup = 200 g. For brown sugars, 1 cup = 220 g. (To properly measure brown sugar volumetrically, you must pack it down as tight as it will go into the cup and then level the surface.)
Maybe I'll assemble an article with common volume to mass conversions...

One thing I would add when considering to use mass or volumetric measurement is how much you are actually using in the recipe. I think as a general rule, larger amounts should be weighed, but small amounts, like under half an ounce or 15 g are probably better measured volumetrically. For example, I'd rather measure 1/2 teaspoon (or 2.5 ml) of baking powder than 3 grams. Kitchen scales are not analytical balances. My digital kitchen scale goes from 0-2000 g in 2 g increments, so that's another reason I would use volumetric measure for small qualntities.

That would be a wonderful thing to do since many people have trouble with the volumetric measurements involved in baking...whil you're at it may you could roll out a list of temps from F to C cus those are really a ball when you're cooking in Europe. With all the technological products now available from thermometers to scales with double scales written in type grams/ozs. things are simpler. When I moved to Italy 30 years ago it was a scream..I screamed trying to learn it all!

Over the past couple of years, QR codes have cropped up everywhere from billboards to ketchup bottles, and have become a must-have gimmick for some marketers.
At our Digital Cream event this week, I was discussing QR and mobile marketing with Mark Brill, who had been moderating the mobile roundtable.
The upshot is that, when used well, QR codes can be a useful tactic for marketers, when used badly they're utterly pointless.
Mark showed me some excellent examples of QR codes, good and bad, from his Pinterest page.
Here is a selection of those....
Good QR
QR at point of sale
This example is taken from Selfridges and, in case you hadn't guessed, it's a molecular cooking set. I'm not totally sure what it does, but I want one.
The object itself arouses curiousity, but the QR code allows shoppers to find out more:
Why is this good? According to Mark Brill:
There's plenty of dwell time as it's in the kitchen department of Selfridges. The engagement is pretty good, as it links to a useful video to explain how this new product works. It's also well targeted. Those interested in molecular cooking are likely to be techie, probably have smartphones and will probably bother to scan the code.
Good use of QR in print
This is simple, but well-executed and would apply to a number of offline businesses.
Simply scan the QR code on the VW ad, download the app, and find out where your local dealer is.
Bad QR
Scan for T&Cs
No-one wants to read terms and conditions, let alone scan to view them on a small mobile screen. Why did they bother?
Bad landing page
It's not just about placing a code somewhere people want to scan it, the whole journey needs to be taken into account. Look at Toyota for a good example of this.
While there's nothing especially wrong with the placement of this QR code, it takes users to a site with an out of date security certificate.
Ugly QR
On a travelator!
Yes, a travelator. This video was taken by Mark at an airport, and the QR codes are on a Minolta ad. Not exactly easy to scan...
What is QR best practice?
- Make sure the QR code serves a purpose and adds to the user experience.
- Make sure it leads to a mobile optimised site.
- Consider location. Look to place them where people have the time and opportunity to notice and scan them.
- Don't just use QR for the sake of it. You're spoiling it for those that use it well.
- Put it where people will notice it.
- Make the code big enough so people can scan it easily.
- Include a call-to-action (CTA) telling users what they stand to benefit from scanning the code.
Comments (29)
I don't know that the VW print ad is really a good example of QR code for marketing. It seems like a lot of steps to find a dealership location. Wouldn't it be simpler to Google "nearby VW dealer" ?
The 'Scan for T&Cs' is much worse than you think. Possibly the worst I have seen in five years of writing about QR Codes....
I take your point, though the VW app should be a better mobile experience than Google.
To be honest, a lot of QR can be replaced with a URL, unless mobile users already have the apps to make the most of QR.
It's just one of many tactics for marketers, useful if used well, but no better than many other tactics.
@Roger Good grief, that is awful. The 'install coupon printer' part is particularly bad.
Good of you to take the pain of that journey so no-one else has to ;)
I think this is the most innovative use QR code I've ever seen (made by cakes!):
Ha! These are great! I laughed out loud actually! I'd never given these enough consideration though and this is getting my wheels turning, QR-wise! Thanks!
QR codes are an awesome way to get people to lose control of their devices by sending them to a website where they may have no idea what is happening. A hacker need only to place a sticker in the wild, over a legitimate display. Add a false promise, perhaps a Free lingerie model, and the hook's got bait.
I like knowing about the good uses though, thanks.
I really appreciate them on the billboards next to the freeway so it's out of range or you almost have an accident using your phone... also always great placement on the back of bus shelters on the road side so you have to stand in front of on coming traffic to scan it...
I like your example of the good QR being used for that molecular cooking set. I recently scanned a code on a kitchen appliance that just took me to a pdf of the same content that was printed on the packaging so some are still failing at QR codes at the point of sale.
Vodafone had a really cool campaign turning a metro station into a digital library in Romania. http://qrartist.net/blog/?p=290
Nope - Selfridges QR is a FAIL for two reasons.
I noticed the QRs were not the same, so I checked them.
Both QR codes in your picture have a call to action of 'Scan here for video'.
BUT the top one links to the molecule-r.com home page and not a video as implied. The bottom one links to their YouTube channel - though I was expecting to get an immediate video shown.
Neither QR has any tracking in the URL so they have no idea how many people scanned or whether they should do more of less of this in-store QR placement. The simple question of was it worth it can't be answered.
Whilst the concept may be better than some of the other QR code uses, the execution let's this campaign down.
Good marketing badly executed = bad marketing.
Whilst many comments here, and in general about the topic of QR codes, refer to whether or not they are of use, Tim has pinpointed the problem. As with everything, a tool can be well or badly handled, which makes for good or bad workmanship.
QR codes are a fabulously simple way of engaging your customers IF used in an appropriate place and time. If not they just take up space and use it poorly.
For the Selfidges one wouldn't it be better to just have a small TV with the video on it and not bother with the QR code at all??
I would say a good percentage of people who saw it would either
A - have no idea what a QR code is
B - not have the right app to scan it on their phone
C - not have good enough internet access
D - not have the time to scan it
E - work in marketing and think, "ooo a QR code, I wonder what they done" and scan and watch he video
F - be an actual customer and happen to scan and watch the video
I suspect there wouldn't be many Fs!
At our wine tastings we put a QR code on the paper order form included in the tasting notes. This takes the taster through to a dedicated landing page for the particular tasting they are at, enabling them to easily click and order. So simple, convenient and appreciated. They used to have to wait until they got home, but now they can order on the spot, even in the most remote of locations.
I'm wary of QR codes as I'm not completely convinced that we know how best to really use them yet.
I've seen the tracked data from a few QR codes on campaigns that my employer has run, and they generally have little/no traffic. Admittedly this could be down to the CTA (why would you even scan that American Express one above - where's the CTA?)
I've seen them in (what i consider) good usage with regards to tourism - where they give more information about a building/monument etc.
Rio de Janeiro:
Monmouth, Wales:
.. and i've seen them being used on graves (yes, right there on a headstone!) where the QR code links through to a webpage which contains photos, videos, memories etc of the loved on buried beneath your feet.
@Tim Good points, I think the placement and size/contrast etc are good in the Selfridges example, as well as the idea of linking to a video.
However, the top QR doesn't do at it says (I didn't check, assuming it was the same as bottom one) and yes, why not track usage?
It's amazing, when best practice is relatively easy to define in this area (easy to scan code, good placement, compelling reason to scan and mobile landing page) how many can't seem to get the full excecution right.
@Peter I guess the reason is that QR is cheaper than TV, and perhaps Selfridges assumes that the target audience for such a product is tech savvy (not an unreasonable assumption). I'm definitely an E btw...
@Tw if they ever really took off (while I doubt) then spam and malware would become a real problem. Perhaps, as Mark Brill suggested, the spammers know that no-one uses them ;)
Thanks Graham,
There are always people, looking for the silver bullet in marketing, the get rich quick scheme, these guys will try anything once but not think it through from the consumer's journey, then say it doesn't work. How many people do we know after doing 2 blogs say "it failed" (and would we be surprised if the first post was "welcome to our new blog".)
I think the QR code is and can be a great marketing device, but as you intimate, slapping QR codes everywhere with no plan, purpose will almost always fail
We have tried something different, a QR code on our ski test van.
When we are at demos or even on the Dover-Calais ferry we have had people scanning the QR code, not quite as effective when we are on the Autobahn heading to Austria though :o) But we have seen it being scanned as skiers and boarders are wondering what we are doing, who we are, etc.
I've seen QR codes put on buses. Now unless it's stationary no one will be scanning. Then the thought that should drivers in their cars, vans etc should be using their smartphones when they should be driving?
@Roger @Graham,
Alpen is not alone. Tesco's current 'find the eggs' campaign also uses the coupon printer. Shocking customer experience.
Love these, Graham!
Wondering why, though, more companies aren't using QR codes for helping customers *after* the sale has taken place...like for product installation and troubleshooting. Does anyone have any good examples? For example, adding a QR code to a water filter that instantly shows how to install? Some other ideas of how QR codes could help in customer service:
Honestly I can't remember the last time I scanned a QR code it has been that long ago. Isn't this trend dying off pretty quickly?
Great post Graham! Many small business owners should read and learn from it as they think they can use it just for the sake of it.
I think that with QR codes you need to be especially creative and know your audience. You can see so many bad and not effective examples (just look around you). It's all start with the target audience; if your target market are people over 50 they certainly won't be able to use their simple (not smart) phones to scan it.
As we can see QR codes can be very effective but again you need to research whether the usage of QR codes in your campaigns is feasible.
Lenka - over 50's not having Smartphones? Where do you live?
Hi Malcolm, I know some of them are using even iPads. However I doubt that majority are proficient on smart phones and all of the technology gadgets. Why would companies (eg Motorola) even come up with phones made for old people.
@Lenka @Malcolm No need to guess about smartphone use in the UK.
New IPSOS Mori survey data shows smartphone penetration in over 50's at around 20%, indeed much lower than younger people.
Read the highlights of the survey data here:
Its got a really good breakdown by age and social grouping.
Is it possible to have two function in single 2D code itself so that 1) user while scanning with mobile can to go web site 2) while a 2D scanner can read serial number in it.
Pls. advise
I really liked your post Graham. A year has pass and people still have doubts about QR Codes and its best practices.
I also added a blog post about it on our website: http://www.waveuc.com/qr-code-small-business-marketing/
Guys i jus need help , what are "effective and ineffective (bad) spaces in QR codes?"

Leading up to those fateful events on Saturday morning Ireland had not been as energized and hopeful about a tournament since we were on the brink of the Soccer World Cup and Thierry Henry handled away our aspirations there. Perhaps the weight of the desperate hopes of a nation dragged our boys in green down, as a very brave Irish team looked admittedly tired and spent in the second half against Wales.
With the match on so early (6 am Irish time), it was still early morning as Irish rugby fans rubbed their eyes, looked out into the grey, cold, dispassionate morning light and felt that empty longing grow a bit longer. Will Ireland ever proceed to the final of a meaningful World tournament?
Meanwhile, on Friday night, a much more depressing event was taking place.
Wait, back that up a second. A more depressing event than Ireland getting knocked out of the Rugby World Cup, just two games from the finals? Well, did you watch Andorra v Ireland? For those who luckily stayed away, Ireland were playing the joint worst ranked football team in the World on Friday night, as they hope to advance to the 2012 European Championships.
It was a drab, depressing affair that Ireland 'won' 2-0, with two first half goals. Ireland chose to field two holding (defending) midfielders, including Glenn Whelan, who believes the best way forward is, well, backwards. Whelan's first thought when he receives the ball is 'safety first' and statistically the over whelming majority of his passes travel either side to side or backwards.
On a night where they played the joint worst team in the World, Ireland employed two holding, defensive midfielders. Exactly what were they defending against? Were they defending the Irish viewing public from the possibility of being entertained?
Watching Ireland under Gio Trapattoni is a depressing, unrewarding and unenlightening affair.
Beware of chastising me to soon for the following statement, a more loyal Irish fan you will never meet. However, if Armenia, a team playing open, attacking football, beat us in Dublin tomorrow and nip us to the post of qualification, so what? Honestly, can you really say you enjoy watching this current incarnation of the Irish soccer team?
I can't.

Ofcom maps state of UK broadband
Where to move for the best speeds - and where to avoid
And the award for the UK's fastest average broadband speed goes to... Edinburgh, named today as the nation's best location for broadband performance by Ofcom.
That said, its average speed as measured by the comms watchdog, 10.1Mb/s, isn't expecially impressive.
Edinburgh is followed by Bristol (9.9Mb/s), Blackpool (9.5Mb/s), Liverpool (9.5Mb/s) and West Dumbartonshire (9.5Mb/s) in Ofcom's top five.
None of the five topped Ofcom's table for percentage of residents experiencing speeds of 2Mb/s or more - or came out tops for the relative availability of "superfast" broadband - defined as speeds in excess of 24Mb/s.
Source: Ofcom
London managed an averge speed of 8.8Mb/s, Glasgow 8.9M/s, as did Birmingham. Greater Manchester achieved 8.2Mb/s, Leeds District 7.9Mb/s.
The worst location: Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, with 4.3Mb/s, barely behind Cookstown (4.4Mb/s), the Scilly Isles (4.5Mb/s), Dungannon (4.7Mb/s) and Pembrokeshire (4.8Mb/s).
Ofcom's measurements follow the order of the Digital Economy Act 2010 that the organisation report on the state of the UK's digital communications infrastructure.
Ofcom tracked the performance of Openreach, the division of BT that sells ADSL connectivity to ISP, and of Virgin Media. Together these two account for the vast majority of UK broadband connections. Ofcom also included Kingston Communications, Wight Cable and South Yorkshire's Digital Region, all of which run their own, albeit small and local broaband infrastructure.
You can check out the full UK broadband data set at Ofcom's website. ®

6 teaspoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic®
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¾ teaspoon dried sweet basil leaves
¾ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon ground sage
2½ pounds beef, top sirloin, top round, or chuck, cut into 3/4 -inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound chorizo (Spanish sausage), thinly sliced
6½ ounces diced baked ham
3 cups diced peeled, potatoes
2½ cups chopped onions, in all
2 cups chopped green bell peppers, in all
½ cup chopped celery
1½ cups chopped peeled fresh tomatoes
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 2½-inch long strips
4 cups beef stock
¼ cup dry sherry
½ cup fresh or frozen baby green peas
how to prepare
Combine the first seven ingredients in a small bowl to make the Seasoning Mix.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Seasoning Mix all over the beef and work it in well with your hands.
Drizzle the olive oil on the beef, ham and the chorizo, mixing well with your hands. Cook, stirring once or twice until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove the chorizo and ham with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the beef to the pot and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Brown the onions and set aside. Add 1½ cups browned onions, the potatoes, 1½ cups of the green bell peppers, the celery, and 1 tablespoon of the Seasoning Mix. Stir well and cook 7 minutes until most of the juices have evaporated and a hard brown crust covers the bottom of the pot. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and scrape the bottom of the pot clean.
Return the beef, chorizo, and ham to the pot, and add the remaining 1 cup onions and ½ cup green bell peppers, the garlic, and red bell pepper. Stir in the beef stock and the remaining Seasoning Mix and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 22 minutes. Stir in the sherry and cook, uncovered, scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally to prevent sticking, about 30 minutes. Add the peas and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve with rice.

With the corn crop in the ground and, hopefully, growing, it's time now for growers to turn their attention to those practices that'll produce the highest yields possible, says Dewey Lee, University of Georgia Extension small grains specialist.
One place to start is with fertilizer efficiency and maintaining the pH for corn production in the 6 to 6.5-range, says Lee. "You maximize the amount of phosphorus and potash that'll be taken up if you have a pH close to 6 to 6.5. If you get down to 5.6 or 5.7, your fertilizer efficiency will drop to 70 percent and you'll lose money and yield," he says.
With the basic phosphorus, potash, magnesium and zinc applied according to soil test recommendations, nitrogen should be applied according to yield goals or field capability, says Lee. "If your field is capable of 200 bushels per acre, then use a minimum of 240 pounds of nitrogen. If you're a dryland producer, and you're looking at about 100 bushels, then you'll put out 120 pounds — maybe 130 pounds on deep, sandy soil or 110 pounds on a heavier-textured soil," he says.
If growers have the time and equipment, Lee recommends they put out 35 to 40 percent of their nitrogen at the V5 stage and 40 to 45 percent at the V7 to V8 stages, assuming that about 20 percent of the nitrogen needs were applied at planting.
"This needs to go by the row in a liquid form, but it may not be possible depending on the management capabilities of those farmers with limited labor. You may have to apply your nitrogen in a layby broadcast over the top. That's efficient, but less efficient in sandier soils than applying down by the row," he says.
There was a time, says Lee, when fungicides were not discussed in corn production. But that has changed.
"Today, we have fast-growing, susceptible hybrids. Data in Georgia demonstrates that susceptible hybrids will respond to a strobilurin application at the tassel stages. We need yield this year, and companies are touting the yield enhancement properties of some of these products where there is no disease pressure. It's not very well understood. Data suggests that some of these strobilurin chemistries applied at a very specific time result in some yield enhancement.
"But they're sold as a fungicide, and they should be applied as a fungicide. Until this is better understood, I would look at controlling diseases on highly susceptible hybrids so we can get the most yields from it. We protect yield by protecting the stalk so it doesn't lodge as badly. If we get Southern leaf blight on a susceptible hybrid at about tassel stage, it will respond to a fungicide treatment," he says.
Available products include Quadris, Headline, Stratego, Quilt and Tilt, he says. "I'd suggest that if you have a lot of pressure from Southern leaf blight or even rust, you might use Quilt and Stratego followed 14 days later by two applications of Headline or Quadris under severe disease pressure. Sometimes, one application will be sufficient," says Lee.
Growers who can irrigate their corn crops this year should do so wisely, he says. "The price of that water could run from $7 to $15 depending on fuel costs. But let your crop stress — you must be aware of the water needs of the corn crop. The water curve for corn is a nice bell-shaped curve. When the crop reaches that pollination phase, it's using about one third-inch of water per day. In our soils, we have a 1 to 1.2-inch water-holding capacity. That means that in those really hot days, you've got about three or four days of water-holding capacity before you need to irrigate again. You need to stay in front of the curve."
There are irrigation scheduling techniques available for growers, says Lee, including IrrigatorPro for corn from the National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga. Every inch of water that is applied to corn when needed is of significant benefit to the crop, he says.
"Don't miss the first irrigation of the season. When the crop is in the V7 stage, know what's going on. The reproductive stage has begun, and corn stresses during that period of time if it's too dry. Dryness can actually have an impact on yield at that early stage. So being aware of the growth and water needs is the first thing you need to know."
If your subsoil dries out, you'll never be able to catch up and make a good corn crop, says Lee. "Too much of a root system in dry soil means you'll never benefit fully from the water you're putting on the crop, so you need to monitor and stay in front of the growth curve. You need to anticipate the time to apply water to the field. Sometimes, two or three-day delays are normal. But in irrigating corn, it can be somewhat costly."
Research conducted in Georgia has shown the negative effects of delaying irrigation on corn, he says. With a one-day delay, yields are at about 98 percent of the fully irrigated site. There was a loss of about 10 percent after two days and a 20-percent yield loss after three days.
Studies also have shown that irrigation will pay for itself on corn, says Lee. With the price of corn at $3.50 and the cost of irrigation at about $9, it takes about 2.6 bushels to pay for 1 inch, he says.
"Could you have captured 2 to 3 three bushels of yield from that irrigation? Absolutely. If there's any crop we grow in Georgia where irrigation pays for itself, or that responds to water, it's corn. On average, Georgia farmers are applying between 10 to 12 inches of water each year."
In comparing the checkbook method of irrigation scheduling versus using sensors, Lee says growers can do well with the checkbook method if they follow the growth of the crop and keep up with water requirements.
"When you look at the checkbook method versus a soil-moisture trigger, if you follow your growth curve and keep account of the water, you can come close to matching a sensor."
Growers who have a limited amount of water should carefully consider when they apply irrigation, says Lee. "If you have enough water on your farm to make three or four applications in a tough year, how do you maximize it? If water is limited or if your labor to set up irrigation is limited, pre-planned irrigation may protect most of your yield. When we fix our schedule, we can more closely approximate the total needs of the crop and stay within 75 to 80 percent of the fully irrigated top yields."
If a grower is limited to three irrigation applications, Lee recommends they be made at the tasseling, pollination and early grain stages, about 1.5 inches, seven to 10 days apart. If possible, a fourth irrigation could be made at the V7 stage, he says.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Manchester police deem suspicious device dangerous
March 30. 2013 10:52AM
MANCHESTER — State police analyzing a suspicious device discovered Thursday believe it was dangerous but haven't confirmed it was a pipe bomb, Manchester police said Saturday.
State police ordnance workers took the device to Concord for analysis, Lt. James Soucy said Saturday.
"They'll evaluate the makeup of the device," Soucy said. "They believe it was a dangerous device. They just don't know to what degree."
Police closed Maryland Avenue for about two hours Thursday while the state police bomb squad removed the device.

Is RC Rally The Next Big Thing
A class that could be rallying its way to the top
If you've been reading around at all lately, you probably noticed that the RC rally scene is growing really fast. With the release of the new Traxxas 1/10 Rally, I think that it's safe to say that rally is here to stay for a while. Will rally ever be as popular as short course? Probably not. But I think that it presents some really interesting opportunities for RC racing and bashing.
First off, RC rally racing has a lot of potential. It's definitely one of the most stellar full size racing styles in my opinion. I think that the terrain required to have a really awesome rally course is much easier to create than the 'super cross' style that most off road tracks require. All you really need is some gravel or loose dust, some pipes for the lanes, and maybe some gradual dirt mounds for modest jumps that the rallys can handle. This might make it easier and more plausible for hobby shops to make tracks due to shear simplicity. I could also see rally racing classes taking over parking lot racing. Why not drop in some simple wooden jumps for the rally guys right after mod touring? I could see those touring guys getting jealous of that rally class airtime. The possibilities for a rally racing class are endless. (more…)

Los Alamos National Laboratory's Bradbury Science Museum is again partnering with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families Foundation and the Department of Defense in the Blue Star Museums program to host active duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
"In this the 70th anniversary year celebration of Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Bradbury Science Museum is once again excited and proud to be part of the 1,800 museums throughout the United States participating in the Blue Star Museums program to thank our nation's military personnel — and their families — for their service," Bradbury Science Museum Director Linda Deck said.
"The museum already has a free-admission policy, but we're participating in this program to raise awareness of the importance of honoring members of the U.S. armed services, as we share our collective history," Deck said.
The Bradbury Science Museum features films and interactive exhibits interpreting LANL's contributions to modern science, research and technology, including its role in the Manhattan Project and current mission in national security. The museum is open daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
The Bradbury Science Museum is located at 15th Street and Central Avenue in downtown Los Alamos. Photos are allowed. For more information, contact Jessica Privette at 667-0375 or go to the museum's website.

Record Average
Gold, which generally earns returns only through price gains, averaged a record $1,669 last year as nations pledged more stimulus to bolster growth. Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina's only gold trader, is talking with mining companies to buy the metal directly as surging demand from customers seeking protection from faster inflation exhausts its supply of scrap, Carlos Leiza, director of the bank's secured loans unit, said in a March 11 interview.
Japan's central bank governor Haruhiko Kuroda vowed yesterday to pursue bold monetary easing. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke steered clear two days ago of any suggestion that a reduction in $85 billion in monthly bond buying is imminent. The central bank said it will leave its key interest rate near zero as long as unemployment remains above 6.5% and the outlook for inflation is less than 2.5%.
Equity Markets
Gold slid the previous five months in the worst run since 1997 on speculation the U.S. would curb stimulus as signs of a recovery boosted equity markets. Gold is unlikely to return to its September 2011 record of $1,921.15, Credit Suisse Group AG said last month. Barclays Plc and Societe Generale SA are among banks predicting the bull market has, or is close to, peaking.
About $6.4 trillion was added to the value of global equities since November as China accelerated for the first time in two years. The International Monetary Fund predicts global expansion will climb to 3.5% in 2013 from 3.2% in 2012. U.S. unemployment fell to a four-year low of 7.7% last month, as job growth surged, Labor Department data show.
Investors sold 179.5 metric tons of gold valued at $9.3 billion from exchange-traded products since holdings reached a record in December, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Assets reached an almost seven-month low of 2,452.2 tons on March 20. The U.S. Mint sold 36,500 ounces of American Eagle gold coins this month, compared with 80,500 for all of February and 150,000 in January, its website show.

"We on the left, like the folks on the right, are saying we want local control." [Source: Miami Herald]
